If Your State Were A Nation How Would It Rank Economically. (compare, Michigan)

New Jersey would be Saudi Arabia.

New York and Texas would be Mexico.

And Arkansas would be Bangladesh.

Oregon would be Romania... Not too shabby and not that bad considering Romania has 21 million people and an oil industry and Oregon has under 4 million people. Per capita we'd be Finland or Hong Kong (PPP).

Virginia compares to Taiwan or Norway; not bad. What it doesn't show is that bulk of Virginia's GDP is generated in the Blue North near Washington DC. The dirt poor south is essentially a continuation of rural Tennessee.

Florida would be Turkey, Iceland and Australia.

It's interesting to see that Wyoming, Alaska and Delaware have the highest per-capita GDPs in the country. I kinda expected NY or CA.

[dreamofmonterey]

North dakota would be Kenya- kind of ironic,lol.

I don't know how brilliant it was, but I did find it fascinating. Either way, thanks.

Interesting. Turkey has a similar GDP but not the same standard of living as Iceland and Australia. Michigan would be like Argentina. Hey, I always wanted to go there...
